Well okay, it's not official yet. But he's up 54-45 with 65.5% in!

1. Final numbers...
Stan Penfold 52%
Phil Carroll 47%

Both were Democrats, though Penfold was the more progressive. He will represent the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City.

4. I'm delighted. Phil said some stupid stuff lately and he was the most conservative of the two.
I'm surprised.

9. I was really surprised at how conservative Phil was.
Especially when he came out against the city's plan to protect GLBT citizens.

Plus, I believe he was against Becker's plan to allow more bars in neighborhoods.

In a Tribune article I read two months or so ago, someone posted he sounded like a dinosaur. Couldn't agree more.
